It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the disclosure, and are not used to limit the disclosure.
An embodiment of the present disclosure solves the technical problem of poorer impact resistances existing in flexible and bendable OLED display devices and causing the flexible and bendable OLED display devices to be invalid.
As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display module. The display module includes:

The embodiment of the present disclosure provides the display module. The display module includes the middle frame, the backplate, and the display panel, wherein the backplate is disposed on the middle frame, and the display panel is disposed on the backplate. Wherein, the first electromagnetic member is disposed on the middle frame, the infrared transceiver member and the actuation member are disposed on the side surfaces of the middle frame, the second electromagnetic member is disposed under the backplate, the infrared transceiver member is connected to the actuation member and is used to send a warning signal to the actuation member when the display device is subjected to an impact, and the actuation member is used to drive the first electromagnetic member and the second electromagnetic member to work after receiving the warning signal. By disposing the first electromagnetic member on the middle frame, disposing the infrared transceiver member and the actuation member on the side surfaces of the middle frame, and disposing the second electromagnetic member under the backplate, when the infrared transceiver member detects that the display module is subjected to an impact, the actuation member will control the first electromagnetic member and the second electromagnetic member to work, generating an electromagnetic force between the first electromagnetic member and the second electromagnetic member, thereby subjecting the display module to an electromagnetic force opposite to the impact. Therefore, the display module remains undamaged by the impact and can continue normal operation.
In an embodiment, the first electromagnetic member and the second electromagnetic member electromagnetic member are the same. By making the first electromagnetic member the same as the second electromagnetic member, a size of energized areas between corresponding electromagnetic members coincide, which can make electromagnetic forces within a predetermined area counteract impact forces, thereby protecting the display module from being damaged by impact forces. Therefore, each film layer in the display module can remain intact, and each wiring and each electrode remain unbroken, thereby ensuring normal operation of the display module.
In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the first electromagnetic member 21 includes a first electromagnetic layer 211 including patterned first electromagnetic blocks 2112 and patterned second electromagnetic blocks 2113, the first electromagnetic blocks 2112 are connected through first wirings 2111, the second electromagnetic blocks 2113 are connected through second wirings 212, the first electromagnetic blocks 2112 and the second electromagnetic blocks 2113 are arranged crosswise on a same layer, the first electromagnetic blocks 2112 are insulated from the second electromagnetic blocks 2113, and the first wirings 2111 and the second wirings 212 are disposed on different layers. In FIG. 2, the first wirings 2111 are formed by patterning the first electromagnetic layer 211, and the second wirings 212 are disposed on another layer. Through disposing the first electromagnetic blocks and the second electromagnetic blocks on the same layer, space can be saved and a thickness of the first electromagnetic member can be reduced. Meanwhile, the first electromagnetic blocks and the second electromagnetic blocks are arranged crosswise, which can make the first electromagnetic blocks and the second electromagnetic blocks to generate electromagnetic forces in an area precisely, thereby precisely counteracting the impact.
In an embodiment, a shape of the first electromagnetic blocks includes one of rhombic, rectangular, or circular.

The first electromagnetic blocks and the second electromagnetic blocks ensure each area and provide electricity to each area to generate the electromagnetic forces and to counteract the impact, thereby allowing normal operation of the display module.
In the embodiment, the first electromagnetic member and the second electromagnetic member are the same, so the second electromagnetic member may also consist of two electromagnetic layers and two layers of wirings. Also, the shape of the second electromagnetic member may also include rhombic, rectangular, or circular, but the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this. The first electromagnetic member and the second electromagnetic member may also be different.
In an embodiment, the display panel includes a plurality of pixels arranged in an array, the pixels include sub-pixels, and a cross-sectional area of the first electromagnetic blocks ranges from one third to one half of an area of the sub-pixels. When patterning the first electromagnetic blocks, the cross-sectional areas of the first electromagnetic blocks may be made to be one third to one half of the areas of the sub-pixels. That is, the first electromagnetic blocks are disposed in each sub-pixel area when the first electromagnetic blocks are disposed. Therefore, when an area subjected to an impact is detected, an electromagnetic block corresponding to a sub-pixel will be energized according to a position of the sub-pixel and generates an electromagnetic force to counteract the impact in this area without affecting other areas, thereby ensuring that the display module is undamaged when the impact is counteracted.

Therefore, according to a position of a corresponding sense electrode, a corresponding first electromagnetic block can be controlled to be energized and generate an electromagnetic force to counteract impact, and meanwhile, the position is ensured to be accurate without affecting other areas, but the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this, which may also have the cross-sectional areas of the first electromagnetic blocks to be the same as cross-sectional areas of the drive electrodes.

By disposing the first electromagnetic member as the first electromagnetic layer and the second electromagnetic layer and patterning the first electromagnetic layer and the second electromagnetic layer to form electromagnetic blocks, when an area of the display module is subjected to an impact, the area will be energized, which makes the first electromagnetic member generate an opposite electromagnetic force to the impact in the area, thereby counteracting the impact in the area and ensuring film layers in the area to be intact. Meanwhile, a structure of each film layer in the area will not be damaged, thereby ensuring normal operation of the display module.

When the infrared transceiver member is used to determine if the display module is subjected to an impact, by generating an infrared ray via the infrared emitting member, according to a distance between the infrared receiving member and the display module, whether the distance has changed can be determined. For example, the distance between the infrared receiving member and the display module is 1, and the distance between the infrared receiving member and the display module can be calculated by a receiving time of a received infrared ray.
